What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: 450 mg of yerba santa leaf per capsule. Yerba santa is a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Yerba Santa product and its label doesn't state a use — see Yerba Santa's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for yerba santa is not established in the data we hold. We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for obesity, which is one area people have studied it for.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Yerba santa is generally used in small amounts in foods and teas, but human safety data are limited — especially in the higher medicinal doses this capsule provides. Avoid taking medicinal amounts if you're pregnant or breastfeeding; there isn't enough safety information to know if it's okay in those situations.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Yerba Santa

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Yerba Santa.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take lithium, double-check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product — yerba santa may affect how your body clears the medication. No other medication interactions are documented for this ingredient.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Yerba Santa Leaf may interest you if you're exploring herbal options, but the evidence for what it does isn't strong. If you take lithium, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this — your lithium dose might need to be checked or adjusted.

Because safety data in humans are sparse, pregnant and breastfeeding people should skip it.
